Title

Standard Oil Company in hailstorm, 1934

Description

On February 10, 1934, a massive hailstorm dumped icy rocks all over Stuart and Palm City, Florida. The hailstorm was so large that it covered the old Roosevelt Bridge in Stuart, making it look like a snowstorm. Cars drive by the Standard Oil Company filling station. Handwritten on back: "Bass Lane Station, he came from Georgia."
